Star
Now you're gone,
a new song from you
no one can hear anymore,
but the songs you left
to many, I'm sure,
will remain in their hearts.
Once a star,
and in my heart
will always be a star
and that's
the only memory of you
I will keep in my mind.
To you my dear star
may you find eternal peace
as you sing with the angels
......in heaven.

Dragonflies
Dragonflies
why so busy,
why so many?
Is there anyone of you
who can tell your stories?
Dragonflies
why so busy,
why so many?
are you working,
or just playing?
Dragonflies
why so busy,
why so many?
why don't you come
and rest beside me.
Dragonflies
why so busy,

Be Like A Bird
Birds build their own nests
one twig at a time
little by little.
Birds build their own nests
strong enough
for raising their young ones
until they know
how to fly.
Be like a bird
even if it takes time
build your own home.
Be like a bird
build your home strong enough
for raising your children
until they know how to live
...on their own.

Dream
When I was young
I have many dreams
a doctor, a newscaster
a lawyer, and many other.
Dreams...
it's wonderful to have one
'though usually,
they don't easily come true.
Dreams...
some come true
and some just don't.
When I was young
I have many dreams
but now
I only have one dream...
I dream

Don't Walk Too Fast
Don't walk too fast
'cause I might be left behind
don't walk too slow either
'cause you might be left behind.
We are not in a race
I am not your contender...
So don't walk too fast
as if wanting to defeat me
and don't walk too slow either
as if wanting me to win.
Don't walk too fast
or to slow
but let's walk together
....side by side.

Balatkayong Pag-ibig
Balatkayong pag-ibig
sa akin
ay huwag mong ialay
sapagkat ang nais kong pag-ibig
ay yaong tunay lamang.
Kahit na iyong ginto
ay hindi tunay
kahit na iyong rosas
ay hindi tunay
ay ligaya kong tatanggapin
basta't iyong pag-ibig
ay tunay lamang.
Balatkayong pag-ibig
sa akin
ay huwag mong ialay
sapagkat ang nais kong pag-ibig
ay yaong tunay lamang.

Night Angel
Night angel
I can't see
but I can feel
your gentle kiss
on my forehead
I can hear
your sweet voice
whispering goodnight
as I close my eyes
to sleep.
Night angel
do you only come
when it's time for me to sleep?
Night angel
I can't see you
you can see me
I can feel you
can you feel me?

From The Tower Of Babel
From the tower of babel
let me see you rise...
one by one
...by one.
From the tower of babel
let me see you
united...
divided...
united...
again and again
...and again.
From the tower of babel
let me see the world
lightened...
darkened...
lightened...
again and again
...and again.

Luggage
I am a traveller
with only one bag of luggage.
In my bag,
is my passion
to the beauty of many colors
and lights of this universe...
my commitments to many people
who have shared with me
dark moments
and joyful moments too...
and my hopes and dreams
to finish my travel
without hurting anyone
but leave everyone
with only happy moments
to treasure.

We Are One
the color of your eyes
the color of your skin,
the color of your hair
may not be the same with mine...
the god you praise
the language you speak
the way you eat
may not be the same with mine...
but we are one.
we cry
we laugh
we feel pain
we feel hunger
we feel thirst
we feel love
we feel hate
we hope
